About SAUSGear

South Africa has world-class underwater hockey players – but for years, our gear hasn’t matched our talent.

Most of us have had the same experience:
• Waiting 4–6 weeks for a parcel from overseas
• Getting hit with surprise customs charges
• Settling for whatever low-end stock is available locally

SAUSGear exists to fix that.

Who we are

SAUSGear is a South African-owned specialist store dedicated purely to underwater hockey (and soon, broader underwater sports).

We don’t sell “generic sports stuff”. We import and curate elite brands that serious players around the world already trust – sticks, fins, masks and kits built for performance, not just to look good on a shelf.

Our promise is simple:
• Premium products that are normally NOT available in South Africa
• Stock landed locally – no more endless waits
• Honest advice from people who actually know the sport

Why we only do premium

There are already enough entry-level and “just okay” options in the market.

We focus on the top end:
• Stronger materials and smarter designs
• Better feel on the puck and in the water
• Gear that lasts multiple seasons instead of cracking after a few comps

If it’s not a clear upgrade from what’s commonly available in SA, we’re not interested.

How it works

1. We source elite underwater hockey gear from proven international brands.
2. We handle the importing, duties and headaches in advance.
3. We keep stock in South Africa so you can order and receive it in days, not weeks.
4. You get transparent pricing, reliable shipping, and a 30-day return policy.

Who SAUSGear is for

SAUSGear is for players who:
• Are tired of “make do” equipment
• Want gear that can actually keep up with their game
• Prefer to support a focused local business rather than gamble on random overseas orders

Whether you’re gearing up for club nights or international tournaments, we want your kit to be the last thing holding you back.

The bigger picture

Long term, SAUSGear is about more than selling gear. We want to:
• Help lift the overall standard of underwater hockey in South Africa
• Make it easier for new players to get proper equipment
• Support clubs, events and the federation with better access to premium kit

If you’re involved with a club or the SA underwater sports community and want to collaborate, please reach out – we’d love to talk.

This is the store we wish existed when we started. Now it does.
